Bartholomew Applegate probably withdrew from Gravesend about 1674. He may have gone to New England to live, or Monmouth County, but information concerning lim ceases about this date. It is suspected that the numerous Applegates, of Middlesex County are his descendants, but I see no reason why they may not as likely be the issue of the untraced children of his brother Thomas Applegate.

Herbert Genealogical Notes

Will of John Applegate of Oyster Bay, Long Island

John Applegate of Oyster Bay, L. I. made his will Jan. 12, 1687, mentioning his brother, Daniel Applegate, eldest sister Hannah Applegate, youngest sister Mary. May 12, 1688, Daniel Applegate, who had been left executor, obtained a release from his two sisters. Francis Herbert of Middletown signing for “his wife Hannah who was Hannah Applegate.” At this time Daniel Applegate was “of Shroesbury” Monmouth Co., where he had previously married Rebecca Tilton. His two sisters probably came with him to New Jersey, or followed soon after their brother John’s death.

The next thing that Francis did, of which we have any record was to make his will. It was made Sept. 13, 1719 and recorded at Trenton, November 25th the same year. He was “very sick and weak in body but of sound mind,” etc. In fact, he was too ill to sign his name, but made his mark. It was witnessed by James Cox, William Cheesman, Joseph Patterson, William Lawrence, Junior.

John Barclay, Surrogate

See Liber A of Wills, p. 146. also N.J. Archives 1st, ser. Vol.25 p. 223, also, Unrecorded Wills of Monmouth Co. Harrison McNear. P. 93. His property was to be divided into four equal parts, one each of his four sons. Thomas, the eldest, was to have that share including the “dwelling house where he now lives.” His “loving wife Hannah” and son Francis were made executors. One acre of land was to be kept as a burial ground for his family. I have heard it stated vary positively that a certain man who owned the place in the last century, ploughed up the little family cemetery and used the headstones to pave his cellar. This, however, was difficult to prows or disprove.
